Is it possible to configure Google somehow to permanently ban search results from domains that I know 100% are never, ever going to make me happy? Something cookie/session based maybe?

E.g. I want to ban (permanently, forever and always) results from experts-exchange.com. Every time I click results that take me to their page I just want to scream.

Update! Google has released a Chrome Extension to allow users to block individual site from Google search results! Personal Blocklist (by Google). (Since this question has been closed, I cannot answer it.)

Not to be a complete dork or anything, but experts-exchange does have the answer to the question for free at the bottom. I didn't realize this for a long time.

@Peter Turner: Not always. If you are referred from google it does, but if your referrer isn't sent, or you are not coming from google, it doesn't.

@Macha - You mean you directly went to the hyphen site? That seems self-defeating! =)

I have also set up an Adblock rule to hide the entire ad/hidden answer block. It's actual semi-usable with all the garbage hidden :)

To block all access you can also put this line in the "hosts" file (location varies, but it may be in folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc): 127.0.0.1 www.experts-exchange.com

Blocking using the hosts file will not allow you to see any content on that site, though.

Each site on the Web is controlled by
its own webmaster. If you find a page
in Google's search results that you'd
like to see changed, your best bet is
to contact the webmaster and ask him
or her to make a change.

It'd be funny for Experts Exchange to get a bunch of queries concerning this!
